Clark, who had previously worked with Top Gear host Chris Evans on Don’t Forget Your Toothbrush, said in a statement she was “moving on to new projects”.

She added: “I’d like to wish production all the very best with the show.”

The BBC issued a statement thanking Clark for her “incredible work for the last five months readying new Top Gear for its busy filming schedule in 2016 and planned return in May”.

So far Evans has been tight-lipped about the format of the show.
